A VOL XXV, NO 85. $1. KIR YEAR, REIDSVILLE, N. C JANUARY 7, 1913. ISSUED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. II 111 i 1 f , "V r ri HOW THEY SELL TOBACCO AT LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. Mr. J. S. (Tandy) Martin, a loaf dealer of Winston, who is now In Lexington, Kentucky, writes the Sen tinel as follows, regarding the mar keting of the big crop In Kentucky: "I find this the largest lops leaf tobacco market in the country. There are twelve tobacco warehouses here where sales at auction are made, and- the houses are the largest and best houses to b found anywhere. Tne Burley Warehouuse here is 170 x608 feet and there can be more than 1,900 baskets put on the floors -for a single sale. It requires more than a day and a half for the auc .tloneers to sell over the floor. The tobacco is unloaded and put on bas kets usually as soon as the farmers drive in, placed on the floors and sets there until it is sold. When there are big breaks on the market it is several days before some of it ,j$ fold and the owners go home and return to the sale. i"n, ouacnn has been dry all the iall here, until the last week of sales and the sales increases in s whpn the market closed) for the holidays, Dec. 20th, there was enough tobacco ien on me sell one more day, and it continues to come in regardless of the fact .that no sales will be held until Jan uary 2. From the opening day there -.in k o vMiHniued rush. At the close Friday, the 20th,the sales, here &ad been 5,634,140 pounds, and the ..iao wn 112.47 uer hutt- dred. Prices are showing a tendency to advance. "The hurley -crop in this State .(Kentucky) this year Is lighter and brighter than last year's crop and it is in demand and prices are good. -it. i nna nradlcta higher 1CU11J VT, V - Drices later.

"The (Burley Tobacco Company, In corporated, has recently purchased 1 acres of land -on South Broadway street, one of the important streets of Lexington, and built the Burley Warehouse on this property, and the . remainder of this land , has houses upon it that are now rented, but is being held in, reserve on which they are contemplating building a large factory for the manufacture of to bacco. ,. "This is a fine business city, situ ated in the . center of the 'Bluie Grass' belt of Kentucky with a fine farming section all about.. There are good roads leading out in every di rection, with interurban electric car lines going out to all the towns. There is no reason why this city ehould not continue to grow. It Is new far ahead of any market for lianoling and selling tobacco, as the farmers unload as soon as they ar rive, place their tobacco on the baskets which are then placed on the floor and when they are Bold the purchaser takes up the baskets and removes them to his plant. Of course the baskets are then returned to the warehouses." CASWELL COUNTY FARMED MAKES SPLENDID RECORD. We believe the following report from one of our farmer friends will out-class any report we have bad from any tobacco section in - this State. ' Mr. George W. Scott, of Milton, R, F. D., reports that he has sold tip to the present time for $3,950 and lias oa hand; now about 5,000 pounds f tobacco that will average $25.00 per hundred. Mr. Scott raised this year on a little' less thart two and one-half acres 3,338 pounds of tobac co which sold for $1,163.55 clear check, averaging $34.81 er hundred. He used as fertilizer for this small crop twelve sacks of guano. This goes to show that any farm er who will attend to his farm can make it pay above the average busi ness.'':' ;.- 1 Mr. Scott is one of the most pro gressive farmers in our section. iWe need more like him.

WESLEY EDWARD'S GIRL MARRIES ANOTHER MAN, Miss Maud Iroler, who figured in the capture of Sldna Allen and Wes ley Edwards and around whom the newspapers weave a pretty romance. has proven faithless to wee ley and is now happily married to a young man of this county. Miss Maud, during Che holidays, was a visitor with friends at White Plain, four miles from this city. and, on last Thursday she and Ken neth Marsh drove to Dobson.; secur ed license and were married, in the presence of several witnesses, : by Esquire John, Nance at ais home rn Dobson. After the ceremony, the newly wedded couple drove to the home qf the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Iroler, in Carroll county, Va.. where' they were, no doubt, forgiven. They are making their home with the groom 'b parents at White Plains. Miss Iroler is well known, and not withstanding her newspaper noto rietsy, Is a splendid girl who Re serves happiness. The groom is the Bon. of Mr. Robert Marsh and is very popular In his section.Mt. Airy Leader. " , A. special from Richmond says: Wesley Edwards, who is now serving a term of 27 years in the Virginia penitentiary for his part in the Car roll county court house tragedy, had rather spend his remaining days in prison than to be married to Maud Iroler, his sweetheart, who was sus pected of having betrayed, him Into the hands of the detectives. Wesley expressd himself to this effect several days ago to a prison official and, although he did not op enly charge the; girl with betraying him. he spoke as if he had) about reached that conclusion. " When told today of the girl's war- rinirft to Kenneth Marsh at White Plains, N. C, he merely remarked that he did not know Marsh, but his expression indicated what he thought of Maud. NEARLY 3,000 CONVICTS IN STATE AND COUNTY PRISONS. The total number of convicts, county and State, In North Carolina is in rouna number ,ouu, oi , wuum 806 are State prisoners. The coun ties send to the State prison the weaklings, and in two years 425 of these have been received. There are really only about 300 able-bod ied State convicts and these are at work on railway construction. There is a strong sentiment in favor of working all the able-bodied men on tie public highways, but there is something to be especially consider ed In this connection.. This Is that by far the greater part of these are la for life or for very fong terms, and that they form the most dangerous class of prisoners. The question is whhether the county con vict guards are able to keep these men from escaping. It takes trained and expert guards to do this. It Is really a matter to be given special attention and study and care, The entire question! of convicts will no doubt be given particular attention by the Legislature. There appears to be a strong Impression In favor of a State pardon board and , also for the parole system. The latter is de clared to work admirably within the numerous States in which it is In effect. A pardon board can give study to all cases, will know at first hand the record of each convict andean best tell whether cle mency is merited, as to both pardons and commutations. Raleigh Times. GOVERNOR WILL RECOMMEND MOVE STATE PENITENTIARY. The message of Governor Kitchin to the approaching Legislature is to contain a recommendation that in connection with a general reconstruc tion of the State system of managing the convicts there be an abandon ment of the State prison building in Raleigh and that the farm In Halifax be made the headquarters for the convicts. He thinks that the Raleigh prison is too expensive a plant for the purpose and that it could be adapted for use as Some other sort of a State institution, possibly an addition to the State hos pital for the insane, the criminal In sane being already cared for there. There is sure, to be a general recorv tsructlon of the State convict sys tem by tbe incoming Legislature.

North Carolina, the year 1837, and departed this life at his home near Ruffln, N. C, Jan. 1, 1913. aged 78 years. In the absence of his pastor the funeral service was conducted at his home by Rev. A. I. Burruus, pastor in charge of Went- ,worth circuit, and hia body was laid to rest in the family burying ground in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. Brother, Strader, was married early in life to. Miss Eliza Hobbs. To this union there were four children, of which three survive him Mr. George Strader, Mr. Benjamin Strader and Mrs. Win. Perkins. Ills second mar riage was to MissVlrgtnla Daniel. To them were born 10 chhlldren, eight boys and two girls Mr. Thomas M. Strader, Mr. Albert G. Strader, Mr. Edward G. Strader, Mr, Andrew J.

Strader, ma king 13 living chlhldren, all, of whom ae living within eight miles of where they were born and raised. He is also survived by three, brothers and three sisters, 65 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. He professed faith in,, the Lord Jesus Christ and Joined the Metho dist Episcopal church at Mt. Carmel 24 years ago under the ministry of Rev. R. P. Troy. And these many years he has. lived an upright, con sistent Christian life. The writer has known him a greater portion of his life. As a citizen he was a straightforward man with all of hia dealings with his fellowman, living a peaceable, quiet life. As a father and husband he was sincerely devoted to his family; a good neighbor, and a kind friend. ; Three weeks previous to his death he was partially stricken with pa ralysis while in Danville on a busi-. ness trip, and on returning home and feeling conscious that .the , end was near, he talked : . freely , of death and often expressed his wil lingness to go. lie then lingered for about twe weeks when pneumoni developed, and then all hope of his recovery-.was given Up. ,v;.;; . Just two nights before he died he called his wife and children to his bedside, bade them a fond good-bye, and then asked them all to stand in line so that he could see them, and made the following remarks to them: "I have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ, and He has saved my bouI. I now see th-e light of Heaven." He bade them all to meet him where there is no more Buffering or sorrow. He died a victorious death ; In the Lord Jesus Christ. He fought the battles of; life bravely. He lived well, of course he died well. He could well say with the Apostle Paul, "I am now, ready to be offer ed, and the time of my departure Is at hand. I havq fought a good fight; T have finished my course, I have kept the faith," henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of right eousness, which the Lord, ,the right eous, shall give me at that day: and not. to. me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing." He died in the full triumph of faitl In Christ, saying that he was ready to go. His only regrets were that he had not given his Ifle to Christ earlier, and to leaving his jvife and children. ; ''-. May God's blessings rest upon the bereaved wife and children. And may Ho help them to live lives worthy of the father that has gone pn before. M, D. II. A Record of Thirty Years. Thirty years of unexampled success has stamped the McKanna cure as the only one that is safe, sure and infallible. It is indorsed by those who have taken it and all their friends and acquaintances. Large sanitariums in ail parts of the United States that are always filled with patients. Hundreds of testimonials testify to the complets and permanent cure of the grate ful men who wrote them. It not only totally eradicates the desire for drink but at the same time builds up the system makes a new man. It puts him back to where he was before he ever acquired a taste for drink.

Editors Review: it seems to me that it should be a source of regret to the voters of the two old parties that neither can hold a national con- -vention without having a Catholic chaplain. , I note that in the last election the following number of Catholics were elected to high office: Five Governors, .three Lieutenant-Governors, six Attorney Generals, three State Treasurers, two Auditors, ons Comptroller, seven Associate Justices. two Judges of Appeals, one Senator and thirty-nine Congressmen. These figures have caused some Catholic editors to boast that tho Catholics are coming Jnto their own. It appears to us that the Catholics are not satisfied to be allowed to worship God in this country accord ing to the dictates of their, con science but that they have as their ultimate aim the making of this country an adjunct of Rome. Let those who doubt inform themselves and watch every movement of Ro man Catholics in this country. That President Taft allowed him self to be made a pet by them is plain) to all close observers, and it Is rumored that Prof. Wilson is to have a Catholic in his Cabinet, but we nope he will not let them make a pet of hW Presbyterian that be is. We believe that it was Catholic pressure that caused Taft t revoke Valentine's order against certain, school teachers wearing religious garb while on) duty. How can Protestants vote for men to fill high office whose religious belief is that no marriage Is legal ca- less the plighted troth is sealed 1 ' the presence of a Catholic priest? Some one has said, "It is our duty while dealing with the present to steadily take thhought for the future." Let us jvhlle dealing' with, the presenit take thought ' not to build up a power in America fash ioned after, and like unto, the one our forefathers fled from in Europe. We have no doubt that many Cath lics are good people, but what they stand for is the trouble, and for this reason it might not be safe for us tc trust the reins of government too much in their hands. A happy New Year to you, Mr. Ed itor, and may it 'bring you all . you wantthe most . ; : 7 ' UNCLE SI. . January 6, 1913. DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN AT HIGH POINT. High Point, Jan. 3. Mr. C. VV.
